DIGITAL READOUTS
2V/3V MULTIFUNCTION
Operation Manual
（Version V1.0）
Dear Users:
Thank you for purchasing multifunction series digital readouts.
Digital readouts are used in a wide variety of application. These include
machine tools, infeed axes, measuring and inspection equipment, EDM,
dividing apparatuses, setting tools, and measuring stations for
production control. In order to meet the requirements of these
applications, many encoders can be connected to the digital readouts.
Read all the instructions in the manual carefully before used and
strictly follow them. Keep the manual for future references.
Safety attention:
z To prevent electric shock or fire, moisture or directly sprayed
cooling liquid must be avoid. In case of any smoke or peculiar
smell from the digital readout, please unplug the power plug
immediately, otherwise, fire or electric shock may be caused. In
such a case, do not try to repair it, please contact the Company or
distributors.
z Digital readout is a precise measuring device used with an optical
Linear Scale. When it is in use, if the connection between the
Linear Scale and the digital readout is broken or damaged
externally, incorrect measuring values may be resulted. Therefore,
the user should be careful.
z Do not try to repair or modify the digital readout, otherwise, failure,
fault or injury may occur. In case of any abnormal condition,
please contact the Company or distributor.
z If the optical Linear Scale used with the digital readout is damaged,
do not use a Linear Scale of other brand. Because the performan ce,
specification and connection of the products of different and can
not be connected without the instruction of specialized technical
personnel, otherwise, trouble will be caused to the digital readout.

General Operations
4.9 Search the Absolute Reference Point of Scale

During the daily machining process, it is very common that the
machining cannot be completed within one work shift, and hence the
DRO have to be switched off after work, or power failure happen during
the machining process which is leading to lost of the workpiece datum
(workpiece zero position), the re-establishment of workpiece datum
using edge finder or other method is inevitably induce higher
machining in accuracy because it is not possible to re-establish the
workpiece datum exactly at the previous position. To allow the
recovery of workpiece datum very accurately and no need to re-
establish the workpiece datum using edge finder or other methods,
every Linear scale have a ref point location which is equipped with ref
position to provide datum point memory function.
The working principal of the ref datum memory function are as
follows.
Since the ref point of Linear scale is permanent and fixed, it will
never change or disappear when the DRO system is switched off.
Therefore, we simply need to store the distance between the ref point
and the workpiece datum (zero position) in NON-Volatile memory. Then
in case of the power failure or DRO being switched off, we can recover
the workpiece datum (zero position) by presetting the display zero
position as the stored distance from the ref point.
An absolute datum should be set when a work-piece is machined.
There are three mode operation (REF、AB、LEF_AB):
Example: to store the X axis work datum.

200 Groups SDM coordinate
5、200 Groups SDM coordinate

The DRO has three display modes: the absolute mode (ABS),the
incremental mode (INC) and the 200 groups second data memory (SDM
1 – SDM200). ABS datum of the work-piece is set at the beginning and
the 200 groups SDM is set relative to ABS coordinate.
ABS Mode, INC Mode and SdM Mode are specially designed to
provide much more convenience features to the operator to cope with
the batch machining of relative works and the machining of the
workpiece machining dimensions from more than one datum.
Example: The ABS datum is the center point O, the point sdm1,
sdm2, sdm3, sdm4 needed processing are set as datum of SDM 1 –
SDM 4.

Two ways to set SDM coordinate:

1、 Zeroing at the Current Point.
2、 Preset datum of SDM coordinate.
5.1 Zeroing at the Current Point

At first set the center point of the work-piece as the origin of the
ABS, then align the TOOL with point sdm1,sdm2,sdm3,sdm4 by
moving the machine table and zero them. It is the position to process
where the “0.000” appears in X window, Y window by moving the
machine table whether in ABS or in SDM coordinate.
Steps:
1、 Move worktable to place the TOOL at the center of the workpiece
point O as the datum of ABS. Then zero X axis and Y axis in
SDM 1 ; Zero X axis and Y axis in SDM 2 ; Zero X axis and Y
axis in SDM 3 ; Zero X axis and Y axis in SDM 4.

EDM
6.10 EDM
1、 Description: This function is used for the special machining of
Electro Discharge Machining (EDM). When the set target value of EDM
Z- axis is equal to the present value, the digital readout will output the
switch signal to control EDM to stop the depth machining.
The setting of Z-axis direction the Digital Readout is shown as Fig 1,
i.e. The deeper the depth is, the large the coordinate value of Z-axis
displays. Since starting machining, the depth will gradually deepen
and Z-axis.
According to the set Z-axis direction, the machining direction is
divided into positive and negative machining. When the electrode
descends and the machining is carried out from up to down, the digital
readout value will increase, which is called positive machining (Positive).
The setting of this direction is the normal setting.
When the electrode ascends and the machining is carried out
from down to up, the digital readout value will decrease. The
machining direction is negative direction (negative), which is also called
negative machining (shown as Fig.1)
The Digital Readout also features other functions, such as negative
fire proof-height. Negative fireproof height function is a kind of
intelligent position follow check safety protective device. In the process
of machining, the electrode surface will generate the carbon
accumulation phenomenon. Due to the long-time or diurnal machining
without tending , when generating the carbon accumulation and
nobody makes the cleaning, the electrode will slowly increase along the
negative direction. Once the electrode exceeds the liquid level, it will
frequently catch fire and cause losses. This function is just set to aim
at this problem. When setting negative fireproof height, and the
increased height of electrode exceeds the height between it and the
depth of machined surface (i.e. Negative fireproof height), the digital
readout display will blink for waring; at the same time, the output
signal will automatically turn off EDM to eliminate the fire chance.

2．procedure :
See the following example for detailed machining.
1) Before machining, firstly set each parameter of DEPTH
(machining depth);ERRHIGH( negative fireproof height), machining
direction(POSITIVE / NEGATIVE) ; exit mode (AUTO/STOP) and
EDM Relay Output Mode.
2) Move the main axis electrode of Z-axis to make it contact the
workpiece reference. Clear A-axis to zero or set the value.
3) Enter EDM machining by press the key EDM .
4) X-axis will display Machining depth target value. Y-axis will
display Value has been to be depth. ( The value on Y-axis is the
value that the workpiece has been machined depth) Z-axis will
display Self-position real time value. ( The value on Z-axis is the
position value of the main axis electrode of Z-axis.)
5) Start machining, Z-axis display value is gradually close to the
target value, and Y-axis display value is also gradually close to the
target value. If at this time, the electrode is repeatedly up and down,
Z-axis display value will change subsequently, but Y-axis display
value will not change, which will always display the machined depth
value.
6) When Z-axis display value is equal to the set target value, the
position reaching switch will be turned off, EDM will stop machining,
According to the operator setting. There are two kinds of exit modes:
50
EDM
a) Automatic Mode：
it will automatically exit from EDM machining status and
recover to the original state before machining;
b) Stop Mode：
It will always stay at the machining interface after finishing
machining, and you should press EDM to exit and back to the
original state.
